First Time Daddying Lately

I recently got divorced, and suddenly found myself wanting a daddy kink I’d never really thought about before. It’s been incredibly freeing yet overwhelming at the same time, having someone take charge of things again after years of being alone or in relationships where I was always the one calling the shots. My little partner is so trusting and eager to be taken care of that it just feels natural, even if I’m still learning a lot about myself as we explore this dynamic together. Today we tried an intense new scene involving strict rules around her behavior, things like not speaking unless spoken to and needing permission for everything from eating snacks to picking up a book. It was exhilarating in ways that felt both dangerous and liberating, leaving me unsure of what I want moving forward. Has anyone else ever had this kind of emotional journey into daddying? I'd love any advice or similar experiences others have with exploring new sides of themselves.
